Modern technological societies are characterised by the rapid expansion of knowledge and the ease of access to, and exchange of, information in a digital format. Active and informed participation in this world requires citizens to be adaptable and self-directed users of information and communication technology. They need to work analytically and creatively, behave ethically, be socially responsible and work collaboratively.
In the study of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), students develop and demonstrate the knowledge, practices and dispositions necessary to operate effectively in information-rich environments. They understand the transformation of data to information, of information to knowledge, as well as the interdependence of human and technological agencies that lead to these transformations.
